The voluntary is not only influenced by kominka movement, but also is the effect of Japan＇s war discourse of protecting Asia from the fight of Western countries. However, no matter in schools or society, discrimination in colony leads youth＇s anger and forms an invisible power of the discourse of anti-war. Youth in Taiwan gradually doubt of the war idea of Japan, including the fear of death. In this paper, I define the situation as ＂the war of heart＂. This paper focuses on the changing of character＇s mind and spirit. This paper also observes the changing process of the identification of race and mother land. The observation will be a basis to think about the historical meaning of war experience of mobilization and memories of Talwanese people during the colonial period by Japan.展开更多

Gender issues in the formation of selfhood and philosophical concepts of behavioural ＂performativity＂ will be examined in the context of China＇s experimentations in projecting new concepts of womanhood and the female self. As a context, I will also outline some of the changes in cultural values and ethical categories in China over the past century, so as to see why the individualist conception of the self has played such a paramount important role in China＇s quest for modernity.展开更多
